For a lack of anything better to do, I'm gonna bump this...

Woody Allen
The Purple Rose Of Cairo > Stardust Memories > Crimes and Misdemeanours > Hannah and Her Sisters > Deconstructing Harry > Annie Hall > Bullets Over Broadway > You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger > Manhattan > Love and Death > A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy > What's Up Tigerlily > Cassandra's Dream > Broadway Danny Rose > Another Woman > Anything Else > Play It Again, Sam > Vicky Cristina Barcelona > Match Point > Shadows and Fog > Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex etc > Mighty Aphrodite > Hollywood Ending > Scoop > Small Time Crooks > Melinda and Melinda > Celebrity > Whatever Works

Clint Eastwood
Unforgiven > Mystic River > Letters From Iwo Jima > Flags Of Our Fathers > Million Dollar Baby > Changeling > Absolute Power > Hereafter > The Bridges Of Madison County > Gran Torino > Blood Work > Invictus > Space Cowboys

^ As you may be able to tell, no, I haven't seen everything they've both directed just yet.

My top 4 are extremely close, actually.
Nah, more like...

Barton Fink = Raising Arizona = Blood Simple = Miller's Crossing > Fargo > True Grit > The Big Lebowski > A Serious Man > O Brother Where Art Thou > No Country for Old Men > The Hudsucker Proxy > Burn After Reading >> The Man Who Wasn't There > Intolerable Cruelty >>>>>> The Ladykillers

Which is pretty impressive, because I really, really liked Burn After Reading. Their first four films were absolutely impeccable.

I think a lot of people overestimate the filmmaking strength of No Country for Old Men, but it was really just a fantastic Cormac McCarthy novel. Of course, Javier Bardem's performance certainly elevates its success, but in comparison to, say, True Grit, there weren't too many on-screen adaptations required.

Terry Gilliam:

Tideland is easily the worst movie by a director I like that I've ever seen in my life. I haven't seen The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

start with the favourites M and Metropolis

my faves are Spione and the second Dr. Mabuse (The Testament of Dr. Mabuse), though

Lang is a complete God. The Mabuse trilogy is brilliant throughout even if the first is way too long(albeit, it's interesting to see a silent film that deals directly with prostitution and cocaine.)

Metropolis, M, and the second Mabuse are fantastic. Albeit 'The Big Heat' isn't bad for an Americanized Noir.

Al Pacino = God
